On the right side list all of the activities you have done in the past to help kids with reading comprehension
Now write down Reading Fluency on the left side
On the right side list all of the activities you have done in the past to help kids with fluency
Write down Math Problem Solving on the left side
On the right side write down how you have helped your students master problem solving whether it be in telling time, counting money, etc.
These are your best practices that you do and have done everyday (spelling test practice-assist student with deficit). However, once you take these activities, monitor them by collecting data, and expand the frequency and duration of an activity it then becomes an intervention. Regrouping and extension activities occur every week during intervention time. These are not tier II interventions-just good teaching practices. When things don't work over a period of time-could be a couple of days, weeks, then reassess, when these things tried are not working and you need to find something else use the portal or Compass-will then become interventions based on frequency, type (SLD criteria), and monitoring of student. Don't have to monitor the mini-activites tried on a weekly basis. You could just be ability grouping students and helping them with deficit skills.
What to do ????
Identify essential learning targets for grade level-text may not align with standards. For year one, we are looking at what the standards are for the grade level. If it is not an essential learning target don't waste too many days on the topic and expect mastery
Decide what assessments you are going to use to monitor student progress-these assessments will guide your grade level discussions
Make sure they correlate with standards
Make a list of students who are below 70%-reteach, constantly failing, exhausted efforts-staffing analogy
Target essential learning deficit of students in low 20%??
Decide as a team what interventions you are going to use from the curriculum
